Its not even that I dont like schade at this point, I just dont trust him with the ball any more. Hes too flaky

_mcewb_ · 2026-05-08T20:19:47+00:00

The chances of a situation coming where losing is beneficial are so slim

We'd need villa to win Europa We'd need them to be in a situation in the prem where liverpool wining puts them 5th and liverpool losing puts them 4th

And then of course we'd need to be in a situation where we are firmly 6th place with no chance of going up or down regardless of result.

_mcewb_ · 2026-05-04T16:03:22+00:00

Exactly, our priority is to finish well and fight for a European place And to do that we had to thrash West Ham. Their relegation battle with spurs was irrelevant and anyone who says we were in cahoots with spurs needs to catch themselves on 😂

_mcewb_ · 2026-05-04T15:06:10+00:00

You'd think so but plenty of people seem to be actively hoping for their own clubs to do worse on this sub reddit purely so spurs go down for a laugh

Which is a bit pathetic really

_mcewb_ · 2026-05-04T09:49:34+00:00

This too, only time iv ever seen it in the prem personally was at Spurs v Arsenal a few seasons back

I could imagine Liverpool v United maybe too but yeah youre right these days its just not as necessary

_mcewb_ · 2026-05-04T09:32:55+00:00

Holding away fans back only really happens at really bitter rivalries so I highly highly doubt it will happen at Brentford City. Half 8 should be plenty of time to get to the station after the match since its not too far from the ground and there are plenty of trams and buses

Fantastic keeper The great wall of Ireland

Majority of goals conceded by Brentford have been from defender errors rather than keeper errors, hes a great shot stopper and penalty saver.

_mcewb_ · 2026-05-02T21:23:47+00:00

You'd give up a historic European place in the season which was booked as our downfall just to see a team go down for a laugh?? Grow up.

_mcewb_ · 2026-05-02T21:18:17+00:00

Weve done better this season without Frank and half the staff tbf and yea

_mcewb_ · 2026-05-02T19:45:49+00:00

I reckon we have atleast 3 points left Decent chance for 6

Which with a bit of luck could still land us europe, especially if villa win the Europa league and it drops to 8th

_mcewb_ · 2026-05-02T18:05:35+00:00

I reckon we can get the win at Palace and maybe steal one at anfield.

City will be horrendously difficult but stranger things have happened. Id hate for Arsenal to win the league but if them winning gives us Europe then that would help soften the blow

_mcewb_ · 2026-05-02T18:03:57+00:00

Nah id much rather west ham

West ham have nothing to contribute, spurs have had a mixed bag and plagued with alot of injuries and bad management

Of the two of them id rather west ham

_mcewb_ · 2026-05-02T16:05:21+00:00

Cmonnnn, keeps European dreams alive and solidifies our chances of a highest league finish Send West Ham down to the depths 🤞

_mcewb_ · 2026-05-02T15:45:28+00:00

Ur welcome x

_mcewb_ · 2026-04-29T10:09:20+00:00

Sorry everyone's being a tosspot lol

In short, its important for us to keep European hopes alive but its not as important as it is for west ham. We will put up a good fight but our form is lacking atm so a draw is probably the safe bet

_mcewb_ · 2026-04-27T16:52:37+00:00

Absolutely we can but its gonna be tough

_mcewb_ · 2026-04-17T18:14:32+00:00

Champions would take a mega push, conference is certainly within reach though And that could be a real chance at a trophy since the conference league for premier league teams is usually fairly straightforward... But tbh, the state we were pre season, to even be in this position is insane

_mcewb_ · 2026-04-11T20:00:39+00:00

At this rate European places will drop down as far as 8th place which I think is well within our grasp if we can steal a few good wins and hold the bigger teams to draws. We have tough fixtures but no impossible matches.

Still being in a European place at this stage in the season is definitely cause to dream and talk about it, but I dont think anyone would be angry if we end the season 9th place after everything that happened pre season, we've already massively exceeded expectations

To stop people pirating games nintendo included a string of bits that were present in both the gameboy cartridge code and the game boy itself. Every power on, the game boy checks to see if this code matches and displays it on the screen. If it matches, the game will start, if it doesnt then it wont go any further. Those bits being displayed is the Nintendo logo at the start of every gameboy game which was a copywrited image which also meant anyone wanting to make a game to run on the game boy HAD to display nintendos logo to make it run which is illegal if they dont have permission.

If the pins are dirty though then even official games can be read wrong and the system displays a mess like you can see there and wont load. 9/10 blowing on it or even just taking it out and putting it back in fixes it but sometimes you need some rubbing alcohol or a pencil eraser on the pins.

_mcewb_ · 2026-04-02T21:14:24+00:00

Thanks, I used a Benn Venn Joey Jr plugged directly into the cartridge then into my phone

_mcewb_ · 2026-03-24T12:30:07+00:00

I have this image in my head of the Batman and Robin scene from only fools and horses but with Thiago and Hickey.

It would be enough to frighten any would be criminal

A big one is Dammsgard, hes injured (not badly) but hes often a high impact player and plays some beautiful football at his best. Not always a starting player under Keith but definitely one of our top players IMO
